When a person is exposed to a cold environment: Select one: a. the skin becomes flushed secondary to peripheral vasodilation. b. sweat is produced and is warmed when the vessels constrict. c. peripheral vessels constrict and divert blood away from the skin. d. blood vessels dilate and divert blood to the core of the body.

When a person is exposed to a cold environment peripheral vessels constrict and divert blood away from the skin. Thus, the correct option is C.

How body maintains internal temperature when a person is exposed to a cold environment?

The Internal temperature of the body is maintained by vasoconstriction of peripheral vessels that limit heat loss, and physical activities or shivering assist in the enhancement of heat production.

In this condition, the process of homeostasis maintains the internal temperature of the body with respect to its outer environment.

This action by homeostasis is carried forward with the vasoconstriction of the peripheral vessels that play a key role in the diversion of the blood away from the skin.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
